Biography

Hi there! I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Show Lab @ NUS, working with Prof. Mike Shou. Before that, I received master's degree in Nankai University in 2022, working with Prof. Ming-Ming Cheng. In 2019, I received my bachelor degree from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, working with Prof. Wei Hu.

My previous research focuses on visual generation, especially in foundational generative modeling and instance control for visual generation: Recently, my research interests focus on long-context video generation and unified models. I am always open to discussion and collaboration. Feel free to reach out.
